PreSonuSphere 2012

December 5, 2012

Craig Anderton held mastering seminars

The second annual PreSonuSphere conference—where PreSonus
users attend workshops and concerts, share ideas, and interact
on a peer-to-peer basis with company engineers, clinicians, and
executives—was held September 28 and 29 at the Shaw Center
in Baton Rouge, LA. Expanding on last year’s one-day inaugural
event, this year there were three continuous tracks of workshops,
as well as multiple workstations where attendees could play with
the gear and pose questions to PreSonus gurus.

Kicking off with a pre-show jambalaya dinner, the seminars
focused primarily on live sound and recording. Presenters
included studio designer John Storyk, live sound engineer Ace
Baker, producers Brent Milligan and Fab Dupont, and Electronic
Musician’s Craig Anderton—who also moderated a free-wheeling
panel discussion on the future of the music business. One seminar
track even took attendees through the creation of a song, from
setting up the mics, though recording, mixing, mastering, and
distribution (with the latter focusing on the recently-acquired
Nimbit.com site).

The track on recording, mixing, and mastering a song from start to finish was extremely popular.

Plans are already underway for PreSonuSphere 2013, and
PreSonus deserves credit for putting on a highly successful event
that was probably a bean-counter’s nightmare—but left a trail of
satisfied, and more knowledgeable, attendees in its wake.
